11. Don't Dream It's Over

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFaqRn5t9bs

[Danger Mouse]

14. I think of how the song was used in 'The Stand'...

very haunting.

[3.14158675309]

16. I only know it from when it was originally released. I was a Split Enz fan previously

What is "The Stand"?

[Danger Mouse]

22. It's a miniseries based on a Stephen King book.

Featuring the end of the world, no less.

[3.14158675309]

23. Sounds interesting. I loved the TV series based his "The Dead Zone"

[Danger Mouse]

29. Did you ever see the original film adaptation with Christopher Walken?

[3.14158675309]

46. Yes, and that movie is one of the rare cases where the movie is better than the book, IMO

Another is The Natural.

[Danger Mouse]

52. I agree, as the book was sorely lacking in Christopher Walken.

20. Wargasm - Wasteland

Nothing lives, nothing breathes, a silent wind will blow
A darkness lies upon this land sent to us from below
A nothingness no one will see, a terminated sky
A deadly pall of glowing gray, nothing left to die

War after war in the homeland, bomb versus bomb in the sky
A curse upon the earth itself, a planet too can die
A race for control of the planet, idiots ordering war
Multiple megaton pile-up knowing too well what they're for

A mutant race of tortured souls of warped flesh and bone
Inhabit this dead planet now, a lifeless slab of stone
A stinking cloud lingers here, we cower in our caves
We care not where the future lies, atomic zombie slaves

Do you remember long before your mutant mind was born
Your memories are a murky mist, from your mind they've been torn
Kill them all, survival first, your instincts taking hold
Protect what's yours, collect some more, the circle now unfolds

40. Blue Oyster Cult - Dancing in the Ruins

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pv2J8TDnRwg&feature=related

Tomorrow soon turns into yesterday.
Everything we see just fades away.
There's sky and sand where mountains used to be.
Time drops by a second to eternity.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!

There's laughter where I used to see your tears.
It's all done with mirrors, have no fears.
There's nothing pure or sacred in our time.
The nights we spent together are no crime.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must!
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!

Like marble statues always flowing lay,
From castles built in silence, let us play.
Even though our skulls rot in our flesh.
We can build a laser, tear the mesh.
It doesn't matter if we turn to dust;
Turn and turn and turn we must.
I guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight! Dancin' in the ruins!
Guess I'll see you dancin' in the ruins tonight!
Dancin' in the ruins!

41. Silent Running - Mike and the Mechanics

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ep7W89I_V_g

Take the children and yourself
And hide out in the cellar
By now the fighting will be close at hand
Don’t believe the church and state
And everything they tell you
Believe in me, I’m with the high command

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

There’s a gun and ammunition
Just inside the doorway
Use it only in emergency
Better you should pray to god
The father and the spirit
Will guide you and protect from up here

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Swear allegiance to the flag
Whatever flag they offer
Never hint at what you really feel
Teach the children quietly
For some day sons and daughters
Will rise up and fight while we stood still

Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?
Can you hear me, can you hear me running?
Can you hear me running, can you hear me calling you?

Can you hear me running (can you hear me calling you? )
(can you hear me) hear me calling you?
(can you hear me running) hear me running babe?
(can you hear me running) hear me running?
Calling you, calling you

42. We will all go together when we go

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=frAEmhqdLFs

We will all go together when we go
Tom Lehrer

When you attend a funeral,
It is sad to think that sooner or
Later those you love will do the same for you.
And you may have thought it tragic,
Not to mention other adjec-
Tives, to think of all the weeping they will do.
But don't you worry.
No more ashes, no more sackcloth.
And an armband made of black cloth
Will some day never more adorn a sleeve.
For if the bomb that drops on you
Gets your friends and neighbors too,
There'll be nobody left behind to grieve.

And we will all go together when we go.
What a comforting fact that is to know.
Universal bereavement,
An inspiring achievement,
Yes, we all will go together when we go.

We will all go together when we go.
All suffuse with an incandescent glow.
No one will have the endurance
To collect on his insurance,
Lloyds of London will be loaded when they go.

Oh we will all fry together when we fry.
Well be french fried potatoes by and by.
There will be no more misery
When the world is our rotisserie,
Yes, we will all fry together when we fry.

Down by the old maelstrom,
There'll be a storm before the calm.

And we will all bake together when we bake.
There'll be nobody present at the wake.
With complete participation
In that grand incineration,
Nearly three billion hunks of well-done steak.

Oh we will all char together when we char.
And let there be no moaning of the bar.
Just sing out a te deum
When you see that i.c.b.m.,
And the party will be come as you are.

Oh we will all burn together when we burn.
There'll be no need to stand and wait your turn.
When its time for the fallout
And saint peter calls us all out,
Well just drop our agendas and adjourn.

You will all go directly to your respective Valhallas.
Go directly, do not pass go, do not collect two hundred dollas.

And we will all go together when we go.
Every Hottenhot and every Eskimo.
When the air becomes uranious,
And we will all go simultaneous.
Yes we all will go together
When we all go together,
Yes we all will go together when we go.

49. Moonspell - "Night Eternal"

This song scared me at first, but now I'm addicted to it. :headbang:


http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NLNJ90XVCKk

Night Eternal
Come morning, chalice of dawn
To crown the Sufferer in their glory
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting
For we are trying to breathe

First in the skies, apocalypse
Only your fury can set us free
Come for we are failing
Come for we are waiting
For we are trying to breed

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying

Come forth, for we are blood
And to blood we shall return

<...And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus...>

Night eternal, our world is burning
Bride eternal, our world is dying
